We head to MCH Arena on Thursday evening for the second leg of the Europa League qualifying tie between Midtjylland and Besiktas. The Black Eagles lead the tie 1-0, and we are leaning toward another low-scoring affair here as our match prediction.
Midtjylland had an excellent League Phase in this competition last season, finishing in third place before bowing out to Nottingham Forest on penalties in a thrilling Round of 16 tie.
Ulvene played almost the entire first leg last week a man down after Friday Etim was shown red in the opening 15 minutes of the match, which massively altered the momentum of the encounter.
Back on their home patch this week, the hosts will have confidence of getting back in this tie, having won their three pre-season games at this venue fairly comfortably.
Meanwhile, after Etim’s sending off, Besiktas took the lead in the tie thanks to an Orkun Kokcu goal in the 26th minute.
However, they will likely be disappointed to have only managed one goal in that match, having dominated 74% possession, fired 28 shots at goal, and recorded 3.04 xG across the 90.
As a result, the Black Eagles now have to defend a slender advantage, and have not been great on the road of late, having failed to win any of their four pre-season away games.
